"We worked with librarians and our Community College Advisory Board to design a community college e-book resource that hones in on the various needs of two-year institutions. Community colleges provide a wide array of classes and fields of study whether academic or trade related and Community College eBook Collection provides these colleges with content that covers these expansive course offerings."
